All flows fail - Error in 'Main', action #0

Every time I try to run a flow from  Power Automate Desktop, I get the same/similar error.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application, created new flows, and researched the issue online, but I can find no information about this type of error. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this?

    Could you please share PAD script screenshot?

    Hi @ScottHouston ,

     

    This issue can happen because of below reasons,

    1. PAD is not an updated version.

    2. Machine Runtime set up is not done correctly.

    3. If you are passing any input variable to the desktop flow, check the content of the variable as it might have space in character.

     

    Regards,

    Karan
